Fit & Services

  • Ambler is a full-service residential and commercial landscape company based in Furlong, PA, serving Bucks and Montgomery counties. Residential services span the full lifecycle of a landscape - from full-service design and outdoor living construction through ongoing full-service maintenance and holiday lighting. Commercial services include full-service landscape maintenance, snow and ice management, and commercial landscape design and build. Lawn health programs including fertilization, aeration, and outdoor pest control are handled through Ambler Green, Ambler's dedicated lawn care division. The model is built around a single point of contact for all outdoor needs, so clients never have to coordinate between multiple vendors.

  • Ambler is built for clients who want a reliable, ongoing landscape partner, not a one-time vendor. Homeowners looking for a single low-cost job with no interest in a managed relationship, or those who prefer to coordinate their own separate crews for design, maintenance, and lawn care, are not the best fit for our model. The team's strengths include proactive management, long-tenured foremen who know each property, and seamless coordination across services, which are most valuable to clients who intend to build a long-term relationship.

Communities served include Furlong, Doylestown, Doylestown Township, Buckingham Township, Solebury Township, Upper Makefield, Blue Bell, Jamison, Pipersville, Richboro, Spring House, Warrington, Washington Crossing, Ambler, and surrounding areas.

  • Ambler serves both residential and commercial clients, with services tailored to each. On the residential side, Ambler focuses on outdoor living construction, full-service maintenance, landscape design, and holiday lighting. Commercial services include full-service landscape maintenance, snow and ice management, and commercial design and build. Many commercial clients choose to bundle maintenance and snow management under one seasonal agreement, while residential clients often start with a design project and transition into ongoing maintenance.

Services Overview

  • Ambler's residential services cover everything a homeowner needs to design, build, and maintain an exceptional outdoor space. Full-service landscape design brings a custom vision to life using 3D modeling technology and a transparent, collaborative process. Outdoor living construction includes paver patios and walkways, custom decks, outdoor kitchens, shade features, fire pits and fireplaces, poolscapes, outdoor lighting, and plantings. Full-service maintenance keeps the property looking polished year-round, covering mowing, trimming, edging, mulching, shrub care, aeration, seeding, patio cleaning, and seasonal cleanups. Holiday lighting adds a fully managed festive display from design through post-season removal and storage. Lawn health programs are available through Ambler Green.

  • Ambler's commercial services are designed to give business owners and property managers a reliable, professional landscape partner for all exterior needs. Full-service commercial landscape maintenance covers everything from mowing and trimming to seasonal cleanups and plantings, tailored to the appearance standards and operational realities of each property. Snow and ice management provides proactive winter coverage including anti-icing, plowing, removal, relocation, and sidewalk clearing for commercial properties that cannot afford downtime. Commercial landscape design and build creates functional, polished outdoor environments for businesses using durable, high-quality materials designed for commercial use.

  • Ambler Green is Ambler's dedicated lawn health division, providing program-based fertilization, weed control, aeration, and outdoor pest control for residential clients. While Ambler's full-service maintenance program handles the structural and aesthetic upkeep of a property, Ambler Green focuses specifically on the science of a healthy lawn, delivering consistent, scheduled treatments throughout the growing season for clients who want more than one-off applications. Ambler Green operates as a distinct program and is the right option for homeowners who prioritize long-term lawn health as part of their overall landscape investment.

Process

  • The process begins with a consultation, either for a design project, a maintenance program, or both. During the consultation, Ambler's team walks through the property, learns how the homeowner or business owner uses the space, and begins to develop a plan that fits their goals. For design projects, the team follows up with a 3D landscape model developed in Ambler's dedicated conference room, giving clients a clear visual of the proposed space before any construction begins. Detailed plans, budgets, and timelines are shared upfront so there are no surprises.

  • Every full-service landscape design project at Ambler includes 3D landscape modeling. Clients visit Ambler's dedicated conference room where the team uses state-of-the-art design software to build a detailed visual representation of the planned outdoor space, including layout, materials, and features. This step allows clients to see exactly what they are getting and refine the design before construction starts, ensuring the finished project reflects their actual vision rather than a rough approximation of it.

  • Ambler's single point of contact model is designed to make this transition seamless. Clients who build a new outdoor space with Ambler and then enroll in a maintenance program work with the same team. The crew maintaining the property already knows how it was built, what materials are in place, and how to care for them properly. There is no handoff, no re-explaining the project to a new team, and no gap between the build and the care plan that follows.

Communication

  • Ambler operates on a single point of contact model, which means clients have one dedicated contact for all their landscape needs rather than managing separate relationships for design, construction, and maintenance. The foremen who manage properties at Ambler average 8+ years with the company, meaning the people responsible for a client's property know it well and are invested in its long-term quality. 

  • Ambler's process is built around transparent communication at every stage. For design and build projects, detailed plans, budgets, and timelines are shared upfront and updated throughout construction. For maintenance clients, the team operates proactively, identifying potential issues before they become problems and communicating with clients when something requires attention rather than waiting to be asked. The team's accessibility is a core part of what clients describe as the Ambler experience.

  • Ambler's single point of contact model means there is always a clear, accountable person to reach when something needs to be addressed. The team's approach is built around responsiveness. Clients should be able to reach an expert to discuss their property when they need to, not after delays and handoffs through customer service channels. Post-project concerns are handled directly by the same team that completed the work.

Performance

  • Ambler's maintenance model is built around identifying and addressing potential issues before they become visible problems, whether that's a planting bed that needs attention, a hardscape surface showing early signs of wear, or a lawn that needs intervention before a health issue spreads. This proactive approach requires foremen who know each property well over time, which is why Ambler invests in long-tenured crew leaders who manage the same properties season after season. The result is a landscape that stays in consistently excellent condition rather than cycling between neglect and reactive fixes.

  • Ambler's full-service maintenance program covers patio and walkway cleaning and restoration alongside lawn and planting bed care. For clients who invest in premium hardscape work, ongoing maintenance is essential to preserving both the appearance and the longevity of the installation. Because Ambler both installs and maintains these surfaces, the maintenance team already understands the materials in place and how to care for them correctly, a significant advantage over hiring separate contractors for installation and upkeep.

  • Ambler's commercial programs are designed for properties where consistent, professional-level care is non-negotiable. From HOAs and medical facilities to retail centers and office complexes, Ambler structures its commercial maintenance and snow management services around the specific operational needs of each property type. With 125 years of combined team experience and 15,000+ services completed in a single year, the team has the depth and scale to manage complex properties reliably throughout every season.

  • Southeastern Pennsylvania's four-season climate rewards features that extend outdoor comfort beyond summer. Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces create usable space well into fall and early winter. Pergolas and shade structures with proper orientation provide relief during hot summer days, while outdoor lighting extends evening use throughout the year regardless of season. Ambler designs with the local climate in mind, recommending features and materials that deliver maximum enjoyment across all four seasons rather than just peak summer months. 

Pricing & Getting Started

  • Pricing for design and construction projects is based on the scope of the work, including the size of the space, the features included, the materials selected, and any site-specific factors. Ambler's process includes a detailed plan and budget developed during the design phase, presented to clients before construction begins so there are no surprises. The team's commitment to transparent pricing is core to how we operate. Clients know exactly what they are investing and what they are getting in return.

  • Maintenance programs are structured based on the size and complexity of the property and the scope of services included. Ambler develops a custom maintenance plan for each client during the consultation and provides clear pricing before any work begins. Because maintenance is an ongoing relationship rather than a one-time service, pricing is typically established on a seasonal or annual basis, and clients are kept informed of any adjustments as the property's needs evolve.

  • A first consultation with Ambler is a straightforward conversation about the property and the client's goals. The team walks the space, asks questions about how it's currently being used and how the client wants it to look and feel, and begins to develop a plan that fits both the vision and the budget. There is no obligation after the consultation. It’s simply the starting point for understanding what Ambler can do for the property and whether the relationship is a good fit.

  • Book a consultation through the contact page, reach out directly by phone at 267-544-0677, or by email at info@helloambler.com. The team is based in Furlong, PA, and serves homeowners and commercial properties throughout Bucks and Montgomery counties.
